This is the Strategy discussion forum, for discussing developments in the internal structure of
WikiProject Dallas. Feel free to
add a new discussion and discuss as you would on an ordinary
talk page.
This voting section is now closed. Please do not edit it, it is kept for reference.
Proposals will close 10 days from now, on 18 November 2006. Early closing or decision can be made provided all members have vocalized an opinion (or abstained) on each issue.
If we were to create both DFW & FW projects, they could be relatively intertwined. I created a mockup for tabbed browsing between the 3 projects:
I still feel that would be a whole lot of work, though. It's a chore maintaining one project, much less three. drumguy8800 C T 01:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
The Wikipedia community supports quite a number of bots, including one that can potentially document the number of edits made by a specific user to pages in WikiProject Dallas in that users' tenure as a Wikipedian or in a given time period. It would basically provide a roster of user statistics for sheer vanity and pride among those who have contributed significantly to the project. (See: Editcountitis ;).)
The following templates have been rebuilt in the past few days:

Proposals will close 10 days from now, on 20 November 2006. Early closing or decision can be made provided all members have vocalized an opinion (or abstained) on each issue.
Considering that the two cities both intertwine in several areas, certainly politics, government, and what not, and that by potentially creating two separate projects for what is basically one economic entity, it seems to me that the possibility of limiting this project to only the city itself would both irrationally rule out the suburban areas, which will often count themselves as being a part of Dallas, and very likely lead to conflicts between the Dallas and Fort Worth projects, should a Fort Worth project ever come into existence. Also, there is a very serious possibility of having two projects dealing with the same relatively small area will make both projects as separate entities much weaker than a single combined project would be. Also, should the possibility of a Portal:Dallas-Fort Worth ever be realized, it would make the most sense to have that portal basically working with one project, rather than two with at least conflicting agendas. I sincerely request that the members of this project consider all these issues when making their decisions. The one thing wikipedia does not need is an increasing number of small projects which can conflict with each other, and, at least potentially, die out, when larger, longer-lived projects are ignored. Also, please note that there is only one project dealing with the entire Los Angeles AND San Diego and Orange County area, Wikipedia:WikiProject Southern California. If they can get that much larger area within the scope of just one project, then there is no reason the DFW Metroplex area cannot. As an outsider, retitling the Project the ""WikiProject DFW Metroplex" (or something similar) would probably be the best way to go. Badbilltucker 16:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Please discuss what new priorities, if any, there should be since this WikiProject has been revived. Ideas? Comments? Any constructive information or feedback from member editors is most welcome.
I know I for one would like to have each editor recruit some new WikiPeople for help. If everyone were to ask at least three people to become members and to help on this project, the result could be phenomenal. Even moreso were regional librarians and historical society members a part of this effort. Just a thought.
